They will allow and encourage their big-business backers to target original content on third-party websites, with the burden of proof landing heavily on the latter.<br /><br />In for-profit nonfiction research work, I always cite my sources. I make certain I receive no profit from the manga fanfiction I wrote years ago as writing challenges - and I make a point of sending fans back to the original writer&#39;s material, if they haven&#39;t read it yet. If I bit torrent any content online, it&#39;s only to preview it before I plunk down the money to buy high-quality versions.<br /><br />SOPA and PIPA are really dangerous bills for artists and writers, continuing in the vein of the Supreme Court&#39;s &#39;Citizens United&#39; gaffe and Disney&#39;s eternal lockdown of Mickey Mouse.Filigreenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21073261.post-76847025173156470792012-01-18T19:02:28.541-07:002012-01-18T19:02:28.541-07:00The Internet and technology are growing so fast, t...The Internet and technology are growing so fast, the laws would be antiquated before they were enacted.Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21073261.post-85572627454034601462012-01-18T18:53:13.170-07:002012-01-18T18:53:13.170-07:00I agree piracy is wrong, and in no way would I con...I agree piracy is wrong, and in no way would I condone it, but the flip side of this issue is that I sometimes use it to research along with google, if I use anything on my blog I give credit where credit is due, so if I was to imagine a site in which I cannot utilize without possibly paying a fee that may be a problem. Many books I am inspired by, I would never have found the info without Wikipedia, now I know Wikipedia is not an accurate site to gain info many of the info can be posted by various sources but its still something tat helps while I am pursueing my path toward publication.Keisha Martinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04075320694648296594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21073261.post-85567298189068886652012-01-18T18:51:03.506-07:002012-01-18T18:51:03.506-07:00Agreed.

Being against SOPA and PIPA is not condoning or supporting piracy.<br /><br />There are far better ways to do this than with draconian legislation that gives far too much censorship control to anyone with an unsubstantiated accusation and breaking the structure of the Internet.<br /><br />We can be smart about this and do it the right way, which I hope is the message our legislators are receiving.<br /><br />I highly suggest reading the following document, written by an industry expert:<br /><br />http://www.scribd.com/doc/73106069/Napolitano-Response-Rep-Lofgren-11-16-11-cJonathan Dalarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08001176878191347542noreply@blogger.com
